Netflix Stranger Things star names favourite Liverpool player of all time

Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown has reaffirmed that Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard is her favourite player.

The actress has shot to stardom following her role as 'Eleven' on Netflix horror-fiction-hit Stranger Things which first aired in 2016. The 18-year-old was born in Marbella but frequently spent time travelling to West Derby after moving to Bournemouth when she was four.

She hasn't been shy to showcase her Liverpool affiliation after posting pictures on social media wearing Reds colours over the years.

In a video posted to Reddit, originally from her Lie Detector Test with Vanity Fair, Brown explained the reason she began supporting Liverpool when asked whether there were any other numbers she'd like to be associated with.

She replied: "Eight. [Because] It's my favourite soccer team player. Steven Gerrard."

In 2017, she visited Anfield for Liverpool's 1-0 win over Manchester City in the Premier League. Speaking to the official Liverpool website, she explained how she became a Red: "My family have been supporters and big fans since I was very young so I gradually started to love them and watch the games.

"My brother played a big part in it. When he started telling me about Steven Gerrard when he was playing I started falling in love with it!

"So it was a big moment in my life."
